English Translation

the most dangerous bastions against the empire. In the interests of Europe's front, the Führer, who, in his vision for the development of events, sought to mobilize all forces for the decisive struggle, had to make the forces and states which, out of misconception of their own history, threatened the liberation of Europe and thus their own freedom. While these forces in Bohemia and Moravia, on the one hand, engaged in an unprecedented rearmament of a material nature and a spiritual flogging of the population within the framework of their leadership responsibility, they were too cowardly to pull the military consequences out of their previous behaviour, namely to fight in the autumn of 1938. Hácha, in a wise knowledge of the historical events, found his way back to the kingdom under state law and sought for his person, the government he called for, with some personal changes, therefore also the last government did not draw the consequences that had to be drawn from this external act. Thus, under the eyes of this government, a not insignificant resistance movement could arise, which was able to disappoint the empire, but to endanger Bohemia and Moravia in its entirety.
